Dear Gymnastics, 

Thank you for the 20 years that has shaped me into the person I am today. Thank you for teaching me life lessons that will forever impact me. Thank you for teaching me how to work hard and more importantly what it means to be a follower of Christ while being a college athlete. 

Gymnastics has never been easy but it's always been worth it. I am forever thankful for the wonderful people this sport brought into my life and every memory made. Through all the ups and downs this sport has always been something that has allowed me to push to become a better version of myself. 

Most importantly I thank Jesus for blessing me with all my time in the sport to ultimately serve Him. Winning is great and success is fun but glorifying my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ through every one of my actions is what matters the most. He blessed me with this sport to spread His love and grace. I am forever grateful for this sport and what it has taught me, who it's shaped me to be, and how it's allowed me to glorify Him through it all.
